New players often feel overwhelmed when buying, selling, or earning in-game digital assets. They also struggle with using play-to-earn features.</p><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/maple-story-n/user-reviews">MapleStory Universe</a> recently shared its design vision. This partnership could help developers roll out some features more smoothly.
